Every Win 2 K server comes with 2 remote administration licenses out of the box.

While It seems to be much quicker than Vn C. It doesn't allow you to control the current desktop (it provides each session with a desktop of its own) and you need to log on as a user with administrative privileges. (Note that you can configure Vn C to support localhost 'loopback' connections, so you could Terminal - Service into a box and then use a Vn C viewer to access the Vn C server on the same box to access the desktop. Gives you the security (?) of Terminal Services with desktop access. -- Ted Roche) - see 'console session' below - Nigel

Note that running in Remote Administration mode doesn't seem to degrade application performance in the same way that running in standard mode does. In other words, the server is actually useful for something other than serving TS sessions.
To connect to a Windows 2003 server as the 'console' session : C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe /console /v:servername
Note: Vista SP1 changes /console to /admin.
this code will ensure a VFP App in a TS session shuts down if the session is logged out or disconnected.
